Sami

The Sami are the indigenous people of Finland. This is taken from

"The economic foundation of the Sami hunting culture was destroyed by wiping out the most important game animals - the beaver and the wild reindeer. As game decreased the Sami no longer used their land as actively as earlier, and, thus, their land taxes grew smaller and were altogether repealed in 1924.
Simultaneously, the Sami were removed from the land registers. Their rights were "forgotten", and they were depicted in literature in the same way as natives elsewhere during the colonial period.
Settlers moved into the areas "unused" by the Sami, and they were granted certain rights to the lands and waters. Some Sami founded homesteads on their own land. By the 1980's, the lands and the waters of such homesteads were demarcated. On the basis of no known legal grounds, the state started to control the "public land" left outside the homesteads. The only cause shown was that the 'public lands" had always belonged to the state because they had never had an owner (res nullius). In a situation where the Supreme Court did not consider the state to be the owner of the lands, preservation areas were founded on these "public lands". Today, the state uses, conveys and rents "public land" and disallows the Sami to use it in many ways."
Sound familiar? They suffered the same plight as the Native Americans. Different story, same ending: loss of land, loss of livilihood, loss of culture.
